NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 1999 (UNAUDITED) 1. Description of the business --------------------------- Public Storage, Inc. (the "Company") is a California corporation, which was organized in 1980. The Company is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") that acquires, develops, owns and operates self-storage facilities which offer self-storage spaces for lease, usually on a month-to-month basis, for personal and business use. The Company invests in real estate facilities primarily through the acquisition of wholly owned facilities combined with the acquisition of equity interests in real estate entities owning real estate facilities. At June 30, 1999, the Company had direct and indirect equity interests in 1,434 properties located in 38 states, including 1,306 self-storage facilities, 121 commercial properties, and seven industrial facilities developed for use in the operations of Public Storage Pickup and Delivery. All of the self-storage facilities are operated by the Company under the "Public Storage" name, while the commercial properties are operated by PS Business Parks, Inc., an affiliated public REIT, and its operating partnership (the REIT and partnership are collectively referred to as "PSBP"). In 1996 and 1997, the Company organized Public Storage Pickup and Delivery, Inc. as a separate corporation and a related partnership (the corporation and partnership are collectively referred to as "PSPUD") to operate a portable self-storage business that rents storage containers to customers for storage generally in leased central warehouses. At June 30, 1999, PSPUD operated 36 facilities in 11 states. 2. Summary of significant accounting policies ------------------------------------------ Basis of presentation --------------------- The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1999. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, PSPUD, and 33 controlled limited partnerships including an operating partnership owning the properties acquired from Storage Trust Realty, Inc. (collectively, the "Consolidated Entities"). Collectively, the Company and the Consolidated Entities own a total of 1,199 real estate facilities, consisting of 1,191 self-storage facilities, one commercial property, and seven industrial facilities for use by PSPUD. At June 30, 1999, the Company also has equity investments in 15 other affiliated limited partnerships whose principal business is the ownership of 115 self-storage facilities in aggregate, which are managed by the Company. In addition, the Company has an ownership interest in PSBP, which owns and operates 120 commercial properties. The Company does not control these entities; accordingly, the Company's investments in these entities are accounted for using the equity method. From the time of PSBP's formation through March 31, 1998, the Company consolidated the accounts of PSBP in its financial statements. During the second quarter of 1998, the Company's ownership interest in PSBP 6 was reduced below 50% and, accordingly, the Company ceased to have a controlling interest in PSBP. As a result, the Company, effective April 1, 1998, no longer includes the accounts of PSBP in its consolidated financial statements and has accounted for its investment using the equity method. The income statement for all periods after March 31, 1998 include the Company's equity in income of PSBP. Further, commercial property operations for the periods after March 31, 1998 reflect only the commercial property operations of facilities owned by the Company which have both self-storage and commercial use combined at the same property location. Use of estimates ---------------- The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Income taxes ------------ For all taxable years subsequent to 1980, the Company qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a REIT, as defined in Section 856 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a REIT, the Company is not taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders, provided that the Company meets certain tests. The Company believes it will meet these tests during 1999 and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements. Financial instruments --------------------- For purposes of financial statement presentation, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Real estate facilities ---------------------- Real estate facilities are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the buildings and improvements, which are generally between 5 and 25 years. Allowance for possible losses ----------------------------- The Company has no allowance for possible losses relating to any of its real estate investments, including notes receivable. The need for such an allowance is evaluated by management by means of periodic reviews of its investment portfolio. Intangible assets ----------------- Intangible assets consist of property management contracts ($165,000,000) and the cost over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets ($67,726,000) acquired. Intangible assets are amortized by the straight-line method over 25 years. At June 30, 1999, intangible assets are net of accumulated amortization of $33,747,000 ($29,091,000 at December 31, 1998). Included in depreciation and amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 is $2,328,000 and $4,656,000, respectively, related to the amortization of intangible assets. 7 Revenue and expense recognition ------------------------------- Property rents are recognized as earned. Equity in earnings of real estate entities are recognized based on the Company's ownership interest in the earnings of each of the unconsolidated real estate entities. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Environmental costs ------------------- The Company's policy is to accrue environmental assessments and/or remediation cost when it is probable that such efforts will be required and the related costs can be reasonably estimated. The Company's current practice is to conduct environmental investigations in connection with property acquisitions. As a result of environmental investigations of its properties, the Company recorded an amount, which in management's best estimate will be sufficient to satisfy anticipated costs of known investigation and remediation requirements. Although there can be no assurance, the Company is not aware of any environmental contamination of any of its facilities which individually or in the aggregate would be material to the Company's overall business, financial condition, or results of operations. Net income per common share --------------------------- In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128, Earning per Share. Statement 128 replaced the calculation of primary and fully diluted net income per share with basic and diluted net income per share. Unlike primary net income per share, basic net income per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants or convertible securities that are convertible into common shares of the Company. Diluted net income per common share is computed using the weighted average common shares outstanding, plus the impact of stock options. The Class B Common Stock is not included in the determination of net income per common share because all contingencies required for the conversion to common stock have not been satisfied as of June 30, 1999. In addition, the inclusion of the Company's convertible preferred stock in the determination of net income per common share has been determined to be anti-dilutive for the six months ended June 30, 1998. In computing earnings per common share, preferred stock dividends totaling $23,824,000 and $20,129,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and $45,354,000 and $40,269,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, reduced income available to common shareholders. Stock-based compensation ------------------------ In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("Statement 123") which provides companies an alternative to accounting for stock-based compensation as prescribed under APB Opinion No. 25 (APB 25). Statement 123 encourages, but does not require companies to recognize expense for stock-based awards based on their fair value at date of grant. Statement 123 allows companies to continue to follow existing accounting rules (intrinsic value method under APB 25) provided that pro-forma disclosures are made of what net income and earnings per share would have been had the new fair value method been used. The Company has elected to adopt the disclosure requirements of Statement 123 but will continue to account for stock-based compensation under APB 25. Reclassifications ----------------- Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial statements for 1998 in order to conform to the 1999 presentation. 8 3. Business Combinations --------------------- On March 12, 1999, the Company completed a merger transaction with Storage Trust Realty, Inc. ("Storage Trust"). As a result of the merger, the Company acquired interests in 215 self-storage facilities located in 16 states totaling approximately 12 million net rentable square feet. In the merger, each share of beneficial interest of Storage Trust was exchanged for 0.86 shares of the Company's common stock (approximately 13,009,485 shares of the Company's common stock were issued and approximately an additional 1,011,963 shares were reserved for issuance upon conversion of limited partnership units in Storage Trust's operating partnership). The aggregate acquisition cost of the merger was approximately $575.7 million, consisting of the issuance of the Company's common stock of approximately $347.2 million, cash of approximately $105.2 million, the assumption of debt in the amount of $100.0 million, and the Company's pre-existing investment in Storage Trust of approximately $23.3 million. On June 30, 1999, the Company acquired all of the limited partnership interests in 13 affiliated partnerships. As a result of the Company's increased ownership interest and control of the partnerships, the Company began to consolidate the accounts of these partnerships. The total consideration was approximately $109.7 million, consisting of cash of approximately $66.7 million and the Company's pre-existing investment in the Partnerships of approximately $43.0 million. The merger with Storage Trust was structured as a tax-free transaction. The merger and acquisition of affiliated limited partner interests have been accounted for using the purchase method. Accordingly, allocations of the total acquisition cost to the net assets acquired were made based upon the fair value of such assets and liabilities assumed, as follows: Storage Trust Partnership Merger Acquisitions Total ------------ ------------ ------------ (Amounts in thousands) Real estate facilities.................. $ 598,577 $ 121,620 $ 720,197 Construction in process................. 11,449 - 11,449 Investment in real estate entities...... 356 - 356 Mortgage notes receivable............... 6,739 - 6,739 Other assets............................ 1,309 324 1,633 Accrued liabilities.....................

The Company's policy is to capitalize interest incurred on debt during the course of construction of its self-storage and industrial facilities. Interest capitalized during the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 was $988,000 and $1,946,000, respectively, compared with $1,023,000 and $2,280,000 for the same periods in 1998. 10 Effective April 30, 1999, the Company sold six properties acquired in the merger with Storage Trust for approximately $10.5 million and granted the acquiror an option exercisable in December 1999 to acquire an additional eight properties acquired in the merger with Storage Trust for approximately $18.8 million. The Company is now leasing these eight properties to the acquiror. There was no gain or loss on this transaction. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company disposed of a developed commercial facility, two self-storage facilites through condemnation proceedings, and three plots of land for an aggregate of approximately $12.2 million. There was no gain or loss on these transactions. 5. Investment in real estate entities ---------------------------------- At June 30, 1999, the Company's investment in real estate entities consists of (i) limited and general partnership interests in approximately 14 affiliated partnerships, which principally own self-storage facilities, (ii) the Company's ownership interest in a joint venture, established to develop and operate self-storage facilities and (iii) the Company's ownership interest in PSBP. Such interests are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. In April 1997, the Company formed a joint venture partnership with an institutional investor (the "Joint Venture") to participate in the development of approximately $220 million of self-storage facilities. The Joint Venture has a total of 30 opened facilities with a total cost of $151.0 million at June 30, 1999, and has 13 projects in process with an aggregate cost incurred to date of approximately $40.1 million ($17.9 million estimated to complete) at June 30, 1999. At June 30, 1999, the Joint Venture is reviewing an additional six projects ($20.7 million incurred at June 30, 1999, with remaining costs to complete of $5.8 million). One of these projects has been approved subsequent to June 30, 1999 (through August 9, 1999), and upon approval of the remaining five facilities, the Joint Venture will be fully committed. These six projects include one completed facility and five facilities under construction. At June 30, 1999, approximately $16.4 million is included in construction in process and approximately $4.3 million is included in real estate facilities with respect to these six projects. As the projects are approved, the construction costs will be transferred to the Joint Venture. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company recognized earnings from its investments totaling $17,469,000. Included in equity in earnings of real estate entities for the six months ended June 30, 1999 is the Company's share of depreciation expense totaling $9,574,000. Summarized combined financial data (based on historical cost) with respect to those unconsolidated real estate entities in which the Company had an ownership interest at June 30, 1999 are as follows: 11 For the six months ended June 30, 1999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Other Development Equity Investments Joint Venture PSBP (A) Total ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ (Amounts in thousands) Rental income......................... $ 24,594 $ 6,205 $ 59,976 $ 90,775 Other income.......................... 638 270 523 1,431 ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ Total revenues........................ 25,232 6,475 60,499 92,206 ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ Cost of operations.................... 7,969 3,237 17,031 28,237 Depreciation.......................... 3,123 1,881 14,047 19,051 Other expenses........................ 2,606 45 3,324 5,975 ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ Total expenses........................ 13,698 5,163 34,402 53,263 ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ Net income before minority interest... 11,534 1,312 26,097 38,943 Minority interest..................... - - (6,400) (6,400) ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ Net income............................ $ 11,534 $ 1,312 $ 19,697 $ 32,543 ================== ================== ================== ================== At June 30, 1999: - ----------------- Real estate, net ..................... $ 117,216 $ 187,471 $ 764,127 $ 1,068,814 Total assets.......................... 152,815 203,142 784,622 1,140,579 Total liabilities..................... 62,998 20,006 65,464 148,468 Minority interest..................... - - 168,436 168,436 Total equity.......................... 89,817 183,136 550,722 823,675 The Company's investment (book value) at June 30, 1999.................... $ 114,236 $ 54,940 $ 250,707 $ 419,883 The Company's effective average ownership interest at June 30, 1999. 40% 30% 41% 39% (A) $862,000 of PSBP's net income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was allocated to preferred shareholders. 6. Revolving line of credit ------------------------ As of June 30, 1999, the Company had no borrowings on its unsecured credit agreement with a group of commercial banks. The credit agreement (the "Credit Facility") has a borrowing limit of $150 million and an expiration date of July 31, 2001. The expiration date may be extended by one year on each anniversary of the credit agreement. Interest on outstanding borrowings is payable monthly. At the option of the Company, the rate of interest charged is equal to (i) the prime rate or (ii) a rate ranging from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 0.40% to LIBOR plus 1.10% depending on the Company's credit ratings and coverage ratios, as defined. In addition, the Company is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee of 0.250% (per annum) of the unused portion of the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility allows the Company, at its option, to request the group of banks to propose the interest rate they would charge on specific borrowings not to exceed $50 million. However, in no case may the interest rate proposal be greater than the amount provided by the Credit Facility. 7. Minority interest ----------------- In consolidation, the Company classifies ownership interests in the net assets of each of the Consolidated Entities, other than its own, as minority interest on the consolidated financial statements. Minority interest in income consists of the minority interests' share of the 12 operating results of the Company relating to the consolidated operations of the Consolidated Entities, except as described below with respect to minority interest acquired in the merger with Storage Trust. In connection with the merger with Storage Trust, minority interest increased by approximately $27.0 million, reflecting the fair value of 1,011,963 operating partnership units ("OP Units") in Storage Trust's operating partnership owned by minority interests. As of June 30, 1999, 957,358 of such units are outstanding. OP Units are convertible on a one-for-one basis (subject to certain limitations) into common shares of the Company at the option of the unitholder. Minority interest in income with respect to OP Units reflects the OP Units' share of the net income of the Company, with net income allocated to minority interests with respect to weighted average outstanding OP Units on a per unit basis equal to diluted earnings per common share. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company acquired limited partnership interests in certain of the Consolidated Entities in several transactions for an aggregate cost of $30.6 million, consisting of approximately $14.7 million in cash and $15.9 million in the issuance of the Company's common stock. These transactions had the effect of reducing minority interest by approximately $13.4 million. The excess of the cost over the underlying book value ($17.2 million) has been allocated to real estate facilities in consolidation. 8. Shareholders' equity -------------------- Preferred stock --------------- At June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the Company had the following series of Preferred Stock outstanding: At June 30, 1999 At December 31, 1998 ------------------------------ ------------------------------ Dividend Shares Shares Series Rate Outstanding Carrying Amount Outstanding Carrying Amount - -------------------------------- ---------- ----------- --------------- ----------- --------------- Series A ....................... 10.000% 1,825,000 $ 45,625,000 1,825,000 $ 45,625,000 Series B ....................... 9.200% 2,386,000 59,650,000 2,386,000 59,650,000 Series C........................

On March 10, 1999, the Company issued 4.6 million depositary shares (each representing 1/1,000 of a share) of its Preferred Stock, Series L, raising net proceeds of approximately $111.3 million. 13 Holders of the Company's preferred stock will not be entitled to vote on most matters, except under certain conditions and as noted above. In the event of a cumulative arrearage equal to six quarterly dividends or failure by the Company to maintain a Debt Ratio (as defined) of 50% or less, the holders of all outstanding series of preferred stock (voting as a single class without regard to series) will have the right to elect two additional members to serve on the Company's Board of Directors until all events of default have been cured. At June 30, 1999, there were no dividends in arrears and the Debt Ratio was 4.2%. Except under certain conditions relating to the Company's qualification as a REIT, the Senior Preferred Stock are not redeemable prior to the following dates: Series A - September 30, 2002, Series B March 31, 2003, Series C - June 30, 1999, Series D - September 30, 2004, Series E - January 31, 2005, Series F - April 30, 2005, Series G - December 31, 2000, Series H - January 31, 2001, Series I - October 31, 2001, Series J - August 31, 2002, Series K - January 19, 2004 and Series L - March 10, 2004. On or after the respective dates, each of the series of Senior Preferred Stock will be redeemable, at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at $25 per share (or depositary share in the case of the Series G, Series H, Series I, Series J, Series K and Series L), plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. Equity Stock ------------ The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of Equity Stock. The Articles of Incorporation provide that the Equity Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series and give the Board of Directors broad authority to fix the dividend and distribution rights, conversion and voting rights, redemption provisions and liquidation rights of each series of Equity Stock. In June 1997, the Company contributed $22,500,000 (225,000 shares) of its Equity Stock, Series A ("Equity Stock") to a partnership in which the Company is the general partner. As a result of this contribution, the Company obtained a controlling interest in the Partnership and began to consolidate the accounts of the Partnership and therefore the equity stock is eliminated in consolidation. The Equity Stock ranks on a parity with Common Stock and junior to the Company's Cumulative Senior Preferred Stock with respect to general preference rights and has a liquidation amount of ten times the amount paid to each Common Share up to a maximum of $100 per share. Quarterly distributions per share on the Equity Stock are equal to the lesser of (i) 10 times the amount paid per Common Stock or (ii) $2.20. Common Stock ------------ During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company issued 13,009,485 shares of common stock in connection with the merger with Storage Trust, 568,761 shares of common stock in connection with the acquisition of minority interests, 399,155 shares of common stock in connection with the exercise of stock options, and 54,605 shares of common stock in connection with the conversion of OP units. In June 1998, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase from time to time of up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company repurchased a total of 690,227 shares, for a total aggregate cost of approximately $17.6 million. Through June 30, 1999, the Company has repurchased a total of 3,509,627 shares of common stock (of the 10,000,000 shares authorized) at an aggregate cost of approximately $89.9 million. From July 1, 1999 through August 9, 1999, the Company repurchased an additional 945,400 shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of approximately $24.0 million. 14 Class B Common Stock -------------------- The Class B Common Stock will (i) not participate in distributions until the later to occur of funds from operations ("FFO") per Common Share as defined below, aggregating $1.80 during any period of four consecutive calendar quarters, or January 1, 2000. Thereafter, the Class B Common Stock will participate in distributions, other than liquidating distributions, at the rate of 97% of the per share distributions on the Common Stock, provided that cumulative distributions of at least $0.22 per quarter per share have been paid on the Common Stock, (ii) not participate in liquidating distributions, (iii) not be entitled to vote (except as expressly required by California law) and (iv) automatically convert into Common Stock, on a share for share basis, upon the later to occur of FFO per Common Share aggregating $3.00 during any period of four consecutive calendar quarters or January 1, 2003. For these purposes, FFO means net income (loss) before (i) gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, (ii) minority interest in income and (iii) gain (loss) on disposition of real estate, adjusted as follows: (i) plus depreciation and amortization, and (ii) less FFO attributable to minority interest. FFO per Common Share means FFO less preferred stock dividends (other than dividends on convertible preferred stock) divided by the outstanding weighted average shares of Common Stock assuming conversion of all outstanding convertible securities and the Class B Common Stock. For these purposes, FFO per share of Common Stock (as defined) was $2.34 for the four consecutive calendar quarters ended June 30, 1999. Dividends --------- The following summarizes dividends paid during the first six months of 1999: Distributions Per Share or Depositary Share Total Distributions ----------------------- ------------------- Series A........................ $1.250 $ 2,281,000 Series B........................ $1.150 2,744,000 Series C........................ $0.844 1,012,000 Series D........................ $1.188 1,426,000 Series E........................ $1.250 2,744,000 Series F........................ $1.219 2,802,000 Series G........................ $1.109 7,656,000 Series H........................ $1.056 7,130,000 Series I........................ $1.078 4,312,000 Series J........................ $1.000 6,000,000 Series K ....................... $0.934 4,296,000 Series L ....................... $0.642 2,951,000 ------------------- 45,354,000 Common.......................... $0.440 56,767,000 ------------------- Total dividends paid......... $ 102,121,000 =================== The dividends paid with respect to the Series K and Series L, represent a partial period from the date of issuance though June 30, 1999. The dividend rate on the Series C Preferred Stock for the first and second quarters of 1999 was equal to 6.75% per annum. The dividend rate per annum will be adjusted quarterly and will be equal to the highest of one of three U.S. Treasury indices (Treasury Bill Rate, Ten Year Constant Maturity Rate, or Thirty Year Constant Maturity Rate) multiplied by 110%. However, the dividend rate for any dividend period will neither be less 15 than 6.75% per annum nor greater than 10.75%. The dividend rate for the quarter ending September 30, 1999 will be equal to 6.75% per annum. 10. Segment Information ------------------- In July 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("FAS 131"), which establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments. This statement is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company has adopted this standard effective for the year ended December 31, 1998. For information regarding the description of each reportable segment, policies relating to the measurement of segment profit or loss, and a discussion of segment assets, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. The Company's income statement provides most of the information required in order to determine the performance of each of the Company's three segments. The following tables reconcile the performance of each segment, in terms of segment revenues and segment income, to the consolidated revenues and net income of the Company. It further provides detail of the segment components of the income statement item, "Equity in earnings of real estate entities."

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OF OPERATIONS - ------------- The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS: When used within this document, the words "expects," "believes," "anticipates," "should," "estimates," and similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, and in Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which may cause the actual results and performance of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied in the forward looking statements. Such factors include the impact of competition from new and existing self-storage and commercial facilities which could impact rents and occupancy levels at the Company's facilities; the Company's ability to evaluate, finance, and integrate acquired and developed properties into the Company's existing operations; the Company's ability to effectively compete in the markets that it does business in; the impact of the regulatory environment as well as national, state, and local laws and regulations including, without limitation, those governing Real Estate Investment Trusts; the acceptance by consumers of the Pickup and Delivery concept; the impact of general economic conditions upon rental rates and occupancy levels at the Company's facilities; and the availability of permanent capital at attractive rates. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was $73,651,000 compared to $57,199,000 for the same period in 1998, representing an increase of $16,452,000 or 28.8%. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $135,493,000 compared to $105,563,000 for the same period in 1998, representing an increase of $29,930,000 or 28.4%. The increase in net income was primarily the result of improved property operations, the acquisition of additional real estate investments during 1998 and 1999, and reduced operating losses from the Pickup and Delivery portable self-storage business. Net income allocable to the common shareholders was $49,827,000 ($0.39 per common share, based on 129,250,000 weighted average diluted shares) for the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $37,070,000 ($0.32 per common share, based on 114,430,000 weighted average diluted shares) for the same period in 1998. In computing net income per common share, dividends to the Company's preferred shareholders ($23,824,000 and $20,129,000, respectively for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively) have been deducted from net income in determining net income allocable to the Company's common shareholders. Net income allocable to the common shareholders was $90,139,000 ($0.73 per common, based on 124,133,000 weighted average diluted shares) for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $65,294,000 ($0.58 per common shares, based on 112,246,000 weighted average diluted shares) for the same period in 1998. In computing net income per common share, dividends to the Company's preferred shareholders ($45,354,000 and $40,269,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively) have been deducted from net income in determining net income allocable to the Company's common shareholders. Operating losses generated from the Company's portable self-storage business have negatively impacted net income allocable to the common shareholders. Operating losses from the Company's portable self storage business were $2,935,000 or approximately $0.02 per common share on a diluted basis for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and $8,342,000 or approximately $0.07 per common share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 1998. Operating losses from the Company's portable self storage business were $6,871,000 or approximately $0.06 per common share on a diluted basis for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and $18,224,000, or approximately $0.16 per common share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 1998. 18 REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rental income and cost of operations have increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to the same periods in 1998 due to the Company's merger and acquisition activities throughout 1998 and 1999, most notably the merger with Storage Trust. This was offset partially by the deconsolidation of PSBP whereby the accounts of PSBP, effective April 1, 1998, were no longer consolidated with the Company's and the Company began to account for its investment in PSBP using the equity method. As a result of these items, the number of self-storage facilities included in the Company's consolidated financial statements has increased from 918 at June 30, 1998 to 1,191 at June 30, 1999. SELF-STORAGE OPERATIONS: The following table summarizes the operating results (before depreciation) of (i) the 886 self-storage facilities that the Company has owned and operated on a stabilized basis throughout the period from January 1, 1998 to June 30, 1999 (the "Consistent Group"), and (ii) all other facilities (the "Other Facilities"): SUMMARY OF SELF-STORAGE OPERATIONS - HISTORICAL - ----------------------------------------------- Three months ended Six months ended June 30, June 30, ----------------------- ----------------------- 1999 1998 Change 1999 1998 Change ---------- ---------- -------- ---------- ---------- -------- (Amounts in thousands, except per square foot data) Rental income - ------------- Consistent Group............. $120,401 $116,498 3.4% $237,608 $227,144 4.6% Other Facilities............. 29,344 3,389 765.9% 41,166 4,421 831.1% ---------- ---------- -------- ---------- ---------- -------- 149,745 119,887 24.9% 278,774 231,565 20.4% ---------- ---------- -------- ---------- ---------- -------- Cost of Operations - ------------------ Consistent Group............. 35,234 34,868 1.0% 71,944 69,405 3.7% Other Facilities............. 10,368 1,024 912.5% 14,287 1,433 897.0% ---------- ---------- -------- ---------- ---------- -------- 45,602 35,892 27.1% 86,231 70,838 21.7% ---------- ---------- -------- ---------- ---------- -------- Net operating income - -------------------- Consistent Group............. 85,167 81,630 4.3% 165,664 157,739 5.0% Other Facilities............. 18,976 2,365 702.4% 26,879 2,988 799.6% ---------- ---------- -------- ---------- ---------- -------- $104,143 $83,995 24.0% $192,543 $160,727 19.8% ========== ========== ======== ========== ========== ======== Net rentable square feet (at the end of the period, in 000's). 70,406 55,028 27.9% 70,406 55,028 27.9% Number of facilities (at the end of the period)............... 1,191 918 29.7% 1,191 918 29.7% CONSISTENT GROUP DATA: Weighted average annualized realized rent per occupied square foot.................. $9.91 $9.61 3.0% $9.88 $9.45 4.6% Weighted average annualized scheduled rent per square $10.25 $10.07 1.8% $10.22 $9.94 2.8% foot.........................

In addition, included in cost of operations for the Consistent Group facilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively, are costs associated with the telephone reservation center and advertising totaling $3.6 million and $7.2 million, respectively, compared to $2.7 million and $5.5 million, respectively, for the same periods in 1998. COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OPERATIONS:. The following table sets forth the commercial property operations included in the Company's financial statements: COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OPERATIONS - HISTORICAL ------------------------------------------- Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, --------------------------- --------------------------- 1999 1998 Change 1999 1998 Change ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ (Amounts in thousands) Rental income............. $ 1,948 $ 1,715 13.6% $ 3,862 $ 19,396 (80.1)% Cost of operations........ 631 654 (3.5)% 1,269 6,502 (80.5)% ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Net operating income...... $ 1,317 $ 1,061 24.1% $ 2,593 $ 12,894 (79.9)% ============ ============ ============ ============ ============ ============ During the second quarter of 1998, the Company ceased to have a controlling interest in PSBP. As a result, effective April 1, 1998, the Company no longer includes the accounts of PSBP in its consolidated financial statements and began accounting for its investment in PSBP using the equity method (see "Equity in earnings of real estate entities"). The income statement for the six months ended June 30, 1998 includes the consolidated operating results of PSBP for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The significant decrease in rental income and cost of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1999 reflects the Company's deconsolidation of PSBP. EQUITY IN EARNINGS OF REAL ESTATE ENTITIES: In addition to its ownership of 12,621,428 common shares and operating partnership units in PSBP, the Company had general and limited partnership interests in 15 limited partnerships at June 30, 1999. (PSBP and the limited partnerships are collectively referred to as the "Unconsolidated Entities"). Due to the Company's limited ownership interest and control of these entities, the Company does not consolidate the accounts of these entities for financial reporting purposes, and accounts for such investments using the equity method. Equity in earnings of real estate entities for the six months ended June 30, 1999 consists of the Company's pro rata share of the Unconsolidated Entities based upon the Company's ownership interest for the period. In the aggregate, the Unconsolidated Entities own a total of 235 real estate facilities, 115 of which are self-storage facilities. The following table sets forth the significant components of the Company's equity in earnings of real estate entities: 20 HISTORICAL SUMMARY: ------------------- Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, --------------------------- --------------------------- 1999 1998 Change 1999 1998 Change ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ( Amounts in thousands) Property operations: PSBP..................... $8,878 $7,444 $1,434 $17,300 $7,444 $9,856 Development Joint Venture 569 119 450 915 180 735 Other partnerships....... 6,283 5,829 454 10,204 10,668 (464) ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ 15,730 13,392 2,338 28,419 18,292 10,127 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Depreciation: PSBP.....................

For PSBP, it also includes the Company's share of preferred dividends paid by PSBP. The increase in 1999 earnings compared to 1998 is principally the result of the deconsolidation of PSBP whereby the accounts of PSBP, effective April 1, 1998, were no longer consolidated with the Company's and the Company began to account for its investment in PSBP using the equity method. PORTABLE SELF-STORAGE OPERATIONS: At June 30, 1999, PSPUD operated 36 facilities in 11 states. Due to the start-up nature of the business, PSPUD incurred operating losses totaling approximately $2,935,000 and $6,871,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, as compared to $8,342,000 and $18,224,000 for the same periods in 1998: PORTABLE SELF-STORAGE: ---------------------- Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, --------------------------- --------------------------- 1999 1998 Change 1999 1998 Change ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ( Amounts in thousands) Rental and other income ..... $ 6,448 $ 6,118 $ 330 $ 11,876 $ 11,289 $ 587 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Cost of operations: Direct operating costs... 7,383 8,757 (1,374) 14,796 18,238 (3,442) Marketing and advertising 307 3,777 (3,470) 729 7,335 (6,606) Depreciation............. 1,250 1,138 112 2,432 2,029 403 General and administrative 443 788 (345) 790 1,911 (1,121) ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Total cost of operations............ 9,383 14,460 (5,077) 18,747 29,513 (10,766) ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Operating losses............. $ (2,935) $ (8,342) $ 5,407 $ (6,871) $(18,224) $ 11,353 ============ ============ ============ ============ ============ ============ 21 Included in direct operating costs above are $2.8 million and $5.7 million, respectively, with respect to facility leases for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, as compared to $3.4 million and $6.6 million, respectively, for the same periods in 1998. Until the PSPUD facilities are operating profitably, PSPUD's operations are expected to continue to adversely impact the Company's earnings and cash flow. PSPUD believes that its business is likely to be more successful in certain markets than in others. There can be no assurances as to the level of PSPUD's expansion, level of gross rentals, level of move-outs or profitability. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At June 30, 1999, the Company managed 150 self-storage facilities (115 owned by Unconsolidated Entities and 35 owned by third parties) pursuant to property management contracts. The property management contracts generally provide for compensation equal to 6% of gross revenues of the facilities managed.

Since the Company has acquired in the past, and may continue to seek to acquire in the future, self-storage facilities owned by Unconsolidated Entities, the company's facility management income and related cost of operations should continue to decrease. The decrease in property management operations with respect to commercial properties for 1999 as compared to 1998 is due to the deconsolidation of PSBP, which eliminated commercial properties management fee income and cost of operations after April 1, 1998. 22 OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE ITEMS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME: The Company operates additional businesses through affiliates, including retail sales of locks, boxes, and packing supplies as well as the rental of trucks. The net results of these two businesses are presented along with interest and other income, as "interest and other income." The components of interest and other income are detailed as follows: INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME: -------------------------- Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, --------------------------- --------------------------- 1999 1998 Change 1999 1998 Change ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ( Amounts in thousands) Sales of packaging material and truck rental income: Revenues................. $3,484 $2,189 $1,295 $5,619 $3,671 $1,948 Cost of operations.......

The decrease in interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to the same periods in 1998 is primarily due to decreased interest income on excess cash balances. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION: Depreciation and amortization expense has increased $8,327,000 to $33,519,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to $25,192,000 for the same period in 1998. Depreciation and amortization expense has increased $9,082,000 to $62,493,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to $53,411,000 for the same period in 1998. These increases are principally due to the acquisition of additional real estate facilities during 1998 and 1999, offset partially by the deconsolidation of PSBP. Amortization expense with respect to intangible assets totaled $2,328,000 and $4,656,000 for the three and six months, respectively, ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. MINORITY INTEREST IN INCOME: Minority interest in income represents the income allocable to equity interests in the Consolidated Entities, which are not owned by the Company. Minority interest in income was $4,304,000 and $7,657,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, as compared to $4,217,000 and $10,569,000, respectively, for the same periods in 1998. The decrease in minority interest in income is primarily the result of the deconsolidation of PSBP, whereby the minority interest with respect to PSBP after June 30, 1998 was removed from the Company's consolidated financial statements. SUPPLEMENTAL PROPERTY DATA AND TRENDS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At June 30, 1999, there were approximately 48 ownership entities owning in aggregate 1,306 self-storage facilities, including the facilities which the Company owns and/or operates. At June 30, 1999, 115 of these facilities were owned by the Unconsolidated Entities, in which the Company has an ownership interest and uses the equity method of accounting. The remaining 1,191 facilities are owned by the Company and Consolidated Entities, many of which were acquired through business combinations, including the merger with Storage Trust, during 1999 and 1998. The following table summarizes the Company's investment in real estate facilities as of June 30, 1999, excluding the seven real estate facilities used in PSPUD's operations: 23 Number of Facilities in which the Net Rentable Square Footage Company has an ownership interest (in thousands) ----------------------------------- ----------------------------------- Self-Storage Commercial Self-Storage Commercial Facilities Properties Total Facilities Properties Total ------------ ---------- --------- ------------ ---------- --------- Wholly-owned facilities.................... 629 1 630 38,469 9 38,478 Facilities owned by Consolidated Entities.. 562 - 562 31,937 - 31,937 ------------ ---------- --------- ------------ ---------- --------- Total consolidated facilities.......... 1,191 1 1,192 70,406 9 70,415 Facilities owned by Unconsolidated Entities 115 120 235 6,749 11,640 18,389 ------------ ---------- --------- ------------ ---------- --------- Total facilities in which the Company has an ownership interest............ 1,306 121 1,427 77,155 11,649 88,804 ============ ========== ========= ============ ========== ========= In order to evaluate how the Company's overall portfolio has performed, management analyzes the operating performance of a consistent group of self-storage facilities representing 979 (57.3 million net rentable square feet) of the 1,306 self-storage facilities (herein referred to as "Same Store" self-storage facilities). The 979 facilities represent a pool of properties, which have been operated under the "Public Storage" name, at a stabilized level, by the Company since January 1, 1994. From time to time, the Company removes facilities from the Same Store pool as a result of expansions or dispositions of the properties, primarily from condemnations by governmental authorities, which make such facilities' results not comparable to previous periods. The Same Store group of properties includes 893 consolidated facilities and 86 facilities owned by Unconsolidated Entities. The following table summarizes the pre-depreciation historical operating results of the Same Store self-storage facilities: SAME STORE MINI-WAREHOUSE FACILITIES (979 FACILITIES): ------------------------------------------------------ (historical property operations) Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, ------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------ 1999 1998 Change 1999 1998 Change ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ (Amounts in thousands) Rental income............... $135,135 $130,260 3.7% $266,347 $253,952 4.9% Cost of operations (includes an imputed 6% property management fee) (1)....... 45,725 45,188 1.2% 92,958 89,828 3.5% ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Net operating income........ $89,410 $85,072 5.1% $173,389 $164,124 5.6% ============ ============ ============ ============ ============ ============ Gross profit margin (2)..... 66.2% 65.3% 0.9% 65.1% 64.6% 0.5% Weighted Average: Occupancy during the period................. 93.1% 92.9% 0.2% 92.2% 92.2% 0.0% Annualized realized rent per sq. ft. for period.(3)............. $10.13 $9.80 3.4% $10.08 $9.62 4.8% Annualized scheduled rent per sq. ft. for period (3).................... $10.50 $10.28 2.1% $10.48 $10.14 3.4% 1. Assumes payment of property management fees on all facilities, including those facilities owned by the Company for which effective November 16, 1995 no fee is paid. 2. Gross profit margin is computed by dividing property net operating income (which excludes depreciation expense) by rental revenues. Cost of operations includes a 6% management fee. The gross profit margin excluding the property management fee was 72.2% and 71.3% for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively; and 71.1% and 70.6% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. 3. Realized rent per square foot represents the actual revenue earned per occupied square foot during the period - annualized. Management believes this is a more relevant measure than the scheduled rental rates, since scheduled rates can be discounted through the use of promotions. 24 Rental income for the Same Store facilities included promotional discounts totaling $3,923,000 and $8,049,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively as compared to $4,136,000 and $8,358,000 for the same periods in 1998. During the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1997, the Same Store facilities exhibited growth in rental income and net operating income of 7.6% and 8.2%, respectively, as a result of increased realized rents and occupancies. The growth in rental income and net operating income has decreased in the first six months of 1999 to 4.9% and 5.6%, respectively, as compared to the first six months of 1998 which was 7.7% and 8.8%, respectively, due to flat occupancies and smaller increases in realized rents than was experienced in 1998. The Company expects the level of growth to continue at levels less than that experienced in 1998, as it expects no significant increases in occupancies and expects continued moderated increases in realized rents. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Company believes that its internally generated net cash provided by operating activities will continue to be sufficient to enable it to meet its operating expenses, capital improvements, debt service requirements and distributions to shareholders for the foreseeable future. Operating as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), the Company's ability to retain cash flow for reinvestment is restricted. In order for the Company to maintain its REIT status, a substantial portion of its operating cash flow must be used to make distributions to its shareholders (see "REIT STATUS" below). However, despite the significant distribution requirements, the Company has been able to retain a significant amount of its operating cash flow. The following table summarizes the Company's ability to pay the minority interests' distributions, its dividends to the preferred shareholders and capital improvements to maintain the facilities through the use of cash provided by operating activities. The remaining cash flow generated is available to the Company to make both scheduled and optional principal payments on debt and for reinvestment. For the six months ended June 30, -------------------------- 1999 1998 ----------- ----------- (Amounts in thousands) Net income......................................................... $135,493 $105,563 Depreciation and amortization...................................... 62,493 53,411 Depreciation from Unconsolidated Entities.......................... 9,574 6,639 Minority interest in income........................................ 7,657 10,569 ----------- ----------- Net cash provided by operating activities........................ 215,217 176,182 Distributions from operations to minority interests................

(56,767) (49,806) ----------- ----------- Funds available for principal payments on debt and reinvestment.... $90,986 $59,090 =========== =========== The Company expects to fund its growth strategies with cash on hand at June 30, 1999, internally generated retained cash flows, proceeds from issuing equity securities and borrowings under its $150 million credit facility. The Company intends to repay amounts borrowed under the credit facility from undistributed operating cash flow or, as market conditions permit and are determined to be advantageous, from the public or private placement of equity securities. 25 The Company's portfolio of real estate facilities remains substantially unencumbered. At June 30, 1999, the Company had debt outstanding of $172.6 million, of which $30.6 million is mortgage debt and $142 million is unsecured senior notes, and had consolidated real estate facilities with a book value of $3.4 billion. The Company has been reluctant to finance its acquisitions with debt and generally will only increase its mortgage borrowing through the assumption of pre-existing debt on acquired real estate facilities. During the first quarter of 1999, the Company issued a total of 9.2 million depositary shares (each representing 1/1,000 of a share) of its Preferred Stock, Series K and L, raising net proceeds of approximately $222.6 million. Proceeds of the offerings were utilized to pay costs in connection with the Storage Trust merger. The remaining proceeds will be utilized to fund the Company's development activities, PSPUD activities and acquisition activities. DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS: The Company's conservative distribution policy has been the principal reason for the Company's ability to retain significant operating cash flows which have been used to make additional investments and reduce debt. During the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company distributed to common shareholders approximately 36.1% and 42.1% of its cash available from operations allocable to common shareholders, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company paid dividends totaling $45,354,000 to the holders of the Company's Senior Preferred Stock and $56,767,000 to the holders of Common Stock. The Company estimates the regular distribution requirements for fiscal 1999 with respect to Senior Preferred Stock outstanding at June 30, 1999 to be approximately $95.2 million. Distributions with respect to the common stock will be determined based upon the Company's REIT distribution requirements after taking into consideration distributions to the Company's preferred shareholders. The Company expects to make a special distribution to common shareholders in 1999 assuming a continuation of its increasing level of taxable income. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT REQUIREMENTS: During 1999, the Company budgeted approximately $20.1 million for capital improvements in respect of its consolidated properties ($19.5 million for its self-storage facilities and $0.6 million for its commercial space), excluding amounts to be incurred with respect to the facilities acquired in the Storage Trust merger. The minority interests' share of the budgeted capital improvements is approximately $1.5 million. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company incurred capital improvements of approximately $10.2 million. In addition, the Company expects to spend over the next 18 months approximately $15 million in property improvements to the properties acquired in the Storage Trust merger. DEBT SERVICE REQUIREMENTS: The Company does not believe it has any significant refinancing risks with respect to its notes payable, all of which is fixed rate. At June 30, 1999, the Company had total outstanding notes payable of approximately $172,551,000 (including $100,000,000 assumed in connection with the March 1999 merger with Storage Trust). Approximate principal maturities of notes payable at June 30, 1999 are as follows: 26 Unsecured Fixed Rate Senior Notes Mortgage Debt Total -------------- -------------- -------------- (Amounts in thousands) 1999 (remainder of)...... $ 4,000 $ 1,523 $ 5,523 2000..................... 8,750 2,622 11,372 2001..................... 9,500 2,910 12,410 2002..................... 24,450 3,229 27,679 2003..................... 35,900 3,584 39,484 Thereafter............... 59,400 16,683 76,083 -------------- -------------- -------------- $ 142,000 $ 30,551 $ 172,551 ============== ============== ============== Weighted Average Rate 7.4% 10.3% 7.9% ============== ============== ============== REPURCHASES OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK: As previously announced, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase from time to time of up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. In the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company repurchased a total of 690,227 shares, for a total aggregate cost of approximately $17.6 million. Cumulatively since the repurchase announcement, through June 30, 1999, the Company has repurchased a total of 3,509,627 shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of approximately $89.9 million. From July 1, 1999 through August 9, 1999, the Company repurchased an additional 945,400 shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of approximately $24.0 million. DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES: As previously announced, in April 1997, the Company and an institutional investor formed a joint venture partnership for the purpose of developing up to $220 million of self-storage facilities. The joint venture is funded solely with equity capital consisting of 30% from the Company and 70% from the institutional investor. The Company's share of the cost of the real estate in the joint venture is approximately $57.3 million at June 30, 1999. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the joint venture opened five new self storage facilities that it had developed (approximately 317,000 net rentable sq. ft.). In addition, one project that was completed by the Company in 1998 was contributed to the joint venture in the quarter ended March 31, 1999. As of June 30, 1999, the joint venture had 30 operating facilities, with 1,822,000 net rentable square feet and total development costs of approximately $151.0 million. As of June 30, 1999, the joint venture is developing 13 additional projects (approximately 865,000 net rentable square feet) that were in process, with total costs incurred of $40.1 million and estimated remaining costs to complete of $17.9 million. At June 30, 1999, the Joint Venture is reviewing an additional six projects ($20.7 million incurred at June 30, 1999, with remaining costs to complete of $5.8 million). One of these projects has been approved subsequent to June 30, 1999 (through August 9, 1999), and upon approval of the remaining five facilities, the Joint Venture will be fully committed. These six projects include one completed facility and five facilities under construction. At June 30, 1999, approximately $16.4 million is included in construction in process and approximately $4.3 million is included in real estate facilities with respect to these six projects. As the projects are approved, the construction costs will be transferred to the Joint Venture. The Company has plans to develop a total of 36 additional self storage facilities, with total estimated costs of construction of approximately $165 million, with completions over approximately the next 18 to 24 months. This development is in addition to the six properties that are being reviewed by the joint venture and the 13 facilities that the Joint Venture is currently developing. At June 30, 1999, 19 of these facilities are in process, with approximately $36 million incurred and $50 million of costs to complete, and 17 represent identified sites which have not yet begun construction (with total estimated costs of approximately $79 million). All of these projects are subject to significant contingencies The Company intends to fund this construction either through a second development joint venture or alone through a combination of retained cash flow, borrowings on the Company's line of credit, or the private or public placement of equity securities. 27 In addition, the Company is developing nine facilities that can be used by PSPUD. The Company has incurred $34.7 million with respect to these facilities at June 30, 1999, with remaining costs to complete of $35.5 million. REIT STATUS: The Company believes that it has operated, and intends to continue to operate, in such a manner as to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, but no assurance can be given that it will at all times so qualify. To the extent that the Company continues to qualify as a REIT, it will not be taxed, with certain limited exceptions, on the taxable income that is distributed to its shareholders, provided that at least 95% of its taxable income is so distributed prior to filing of the Company's tax return. The Company has satisfied the REIT distribution requirement since 1980. FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS: Total funds from operations or "FFO" increased to $202,745,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $158,586,000 for the same period in 1998. FFO available to common shareholders (after deducting preferred stock dividends) increased to $157,391,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $118,317,000 for the same period in 1998. FFO means net income or (loss) (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) before: (i) gain or (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, (ii) minority interest in income and (iii) gain or (loss) on the disposition of real estate, adjusted as follows: (i) plus depreciation and amortization (including the Company's pro-rata share of depreciation and amortization of unconsolidated equity interests and amortization of assets acquired in a merger, including property management agreements and goodwill), and (ii) less FFO attributable to minority interest. FFO is a supplemental performance measure for equity REITs as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. ("NAREIT"). The NAREIT definition does not specifically address the treatment of minority interest in the determination of FFO or the treatment of the amortization of property management agreements and goodwill. In the case of the Company, FFO represents amounts attributable to its shareholders after deducting amounts attributable to the minority interests and before deductions for the amortization of property management agreements and goodwill. FFO is presented because management, as well as many industry analysts consider FFO to be one measure of the performance of the Company and it is used in establishing the terms of the Class B Common Stock. FFO does not take into consideration capital improvements, scheduled principal payments on debt, distributions and other obligations of the Company. Accordingly, FFO is not a substitute for the Company's cash flow or net income (as discussed above) as a measure of the Company's liquidity or operating performance. FFO is not comparable to similarly entitled items reported by other REITs that do not define it exactly as the Company defines it. IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 ------------------- The Company has completed an assessment of all of its hardware and software applications to identify susceptibility to what is commonly referred to as the "Y2K Issue" whereby certain computer programs have been written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's computer programs or hardware with the Y2K Issue that have date-sensitive applications or embedded chips may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000, resulting in miscalculations or system failure causing disruptions of operations. The Company has two phases in its process with respect to each of its systems; i) assessment, whereby the Company evaluates whether the system is Y2K compliant and identifies the plan of action with respect to remediating any Y2K issues identified and ii) implementation, whereby the Company completes the plan of action prepared in the assessment phase and verifies that Y2K compliance has been achieved. Implementations have been completed on the Company's critical applications that impact the Company, such as the general ledger, property operations, and related systems. Contingency plans have been developed for use in case the Company's assessment did not identify all Y2K issues, or if the implementation were subsequently determined to not fully remediate Y2K issues that were identified. While the Company presently believes that the impact of the Y2K Issue on its systems can be mitigated, if the Company's plan for ensuring Year 2000 compliance and the related contingency plans were to fail, be insufficient, or not be implemented on a timely basis, Company operations could be materially impacted. 28 Certain of the Company's other non-computer related systems that may be impacted by the Y2K Issue, such as security systems, have been evaluated. The Company expects the implementation of the required solutions to be completed in advance of December 31, 1999. Based upon its evaluation, the Company has no reason to believe that lack of compliance or failure of required solutions would materially impact the Company's operations. The Company exchanges electronic data with certain outside vendors in the banking and payroll processing areas. The Company has been advised by these vendors that their systems are or will be Year 2000 compliant, but has requested a Year 2000 compliance certification from these entities. The Company is not aware of any other vendors, suppliers, or other external agents with a Y2K Issue that would materially impact the Company's results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources. However, the Company has no means of ensuring that external agents will be Year 2000 compliant, and there can be no assurance that the Company has identified all such external agents. The inability of external agents to complete their Year 2000 compliance process in a timely fashion could materially impact the Company. The effect of non-compliance by external agents is not determinable. The cost of the Company's year 2000 compliance activities (which primarily consists of the costs of new systems) is estimated at approximately $4.2 million, of which approximately $4.0 million has been incurred to date. These costs are capitalized. The Company's year 2000 compliance efforts have not resulted in any significant deferrals in other information system projects. The costs of the projects and the date on which the Company expects to achieve Year 2000 Compliance are based upon management's best estimates, and were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events. There can be no assurance that these estimates will be achieved, and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated. There can be no assurance that the Company has identified all potential Y2K Issues either within the Company or at external agents. In addition, the impact of the Y2K issue on governmental entities and utility providers and the resultant impact on the Company, as well as disruptions in the general economy, may be material but cannot be reasonably determined or quantified. Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk ---------------------------------------------------------- To limit the Company's exposure to market risk, the Company principally finances its operations and growth with permanent equity capital consisting either of common or preferred stock. At June 30, 1999, the Company's debt as a percentage of total shareholders' equity (based on book values) was 4.6%. The Company's preferred stock is not redeemable by the holders. Except under certain conditions relating to the Company's qualification as a REIT, the Senior Preferred Stock is not redeemable by the Company prior to the following dates: Series A - September 30, 2002, Series B - March 31, 2003, Series C - June 30, 1999, Series D - September 30, 2004, Series E - January 31, 2005, Series F - April 30, 2005, Series G - December 31, 2000, Series H - January 31, 2001, Series I - October 31, 2001, Series J - August 31, 2002, Series K - January 19, 2004, and Series L - March 10, 2004. On or after the respective dates, each of the series of Senior Preferred Stock will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at $25 per share (or depositary share in the case of the Series G, Series H, Series I, Series J, Series K, and Series L), plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The Company's market risk sensitive instruments include notes payable which totaled $172.6 million at June 30, 1999. Substantially all of the Company's notes payable bear interest at fixed rates. See Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources for approximate principal maturities of the notes payable as of June 30, 1999. 29 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1 Legal Proceedings ----------------- Anderson v. Public Storage, Inc., San Francisco Superior Court (filed September - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19, 1997) - --------- Grant v. Public Storage, Inc., San Diego Superior Court (filed October 6, 1997) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wren v. Public Storage, Inc., San Francisco Superior Court (filed October 16, - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1997) - ----- Each of the plaintiffs in these cases is suing the Company on behalf of a purported class of California tenants who rented storage spaces from the Company and contends that the Company's fees for late payments under its rental agreements for storage space constitute unlawful "penalties" under the liquidated damages provisions of California law and under California's unfair business practices act. None of the plaintiffs has assigned any dollar amount to the claims. In February 1998, the lower court dismissed the Anderson case, but in May 1999 the court of appeal reversed the lower court's dismissal of the plantiff's claim under the California unfair business practices act and affirmed the dismissal under the liquidated damages provisions of California law. The Company is continuing to vigorously contest the claims in all three legal proceedings. Grinnel v.Public Storage, Inc., Baltimore City Circuit Court (filed August 4, - --------------------------------- 1999) Plaintiff in this case is suing the Company on behalf of a purported class of Maryland tenants who rented storage spaces from the Company and contends that the Company's fees for late payments under its rental agreements for storage space exceeds the amount of interest that can be charged under the Maryland constitution and are therefore unlawful "penalties." None of the plaintiffs has assigned any dollar amount to the claims. The Company intends to vigorously contest the claims in the proceedings. In addition, the Company is a party to various claims, complaints and other legal actions that have arisen in the normal course of business from time to time. The Company believes the outcome of these pending legal proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the operations or financial position of the Company. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders --------------------------------------------------- The Company held an annual meeting of shareholders on May 6, 1999. Proxies for the annual meeting were solicited pursuant to Regulation 14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The annual meeting involved the following matters: 30 1.
